An engaging and timely text and an important contribution to the emergent field of voice studies. It offers an alternative way to think and talk about voice that the reader could then translate into ways of working with and training actors' voices … I encourage every voice trainer and coach to keep a copy on their bookshelf and refer to it often.

Voice and Speech Review

In compelling and intricately argued ways, the authors make a resounding case for understanding how vocal sonority is intrinsic to self-identity and self-reception. Inter-vocal sonority is shown to be crucial for social and political justice and a vital element in the repair of ravaged cultural landscapes. Required reading.

This book is the first to bring the vibrant transdisciplinarity of sound studies together with contemporary philosophy. A marvelously materialist philosophy of voice, the book lays out a philosophy of voicing, breathing, and listening; it equips the reader with timely new concepts, including intervocality, unjust soundscapes, and the sonorous sonic voice itself.
